Benefits of technology

The invention is about improving the efficiency of motors by modifying the structure of the stator core. This is done by reducing the magnetic resistance and iron loss, which can occur when current flows through the motor. The motor has a shorter magnetic path, which reduces the resistance to magnetic flux, and the shapes of the stator core are designed to reduce magnetic resistance. By doing this, the motor is more efficient and can achieve better performance.

Problems solved by technology

This induction potential produces an eddy current in a transverse section of the stator core, such that the stator core generates heat thus resulting in an eddy current loss of the motor.
The use of laminations reduces the eddy current loss but they can still be significant.
This results in a long magnetic path and hence a high magnetic resistance.
The magnetic flux passing through the stator core formed by the core laminations 100 generates a large amount of heat, thus causing a significant iron loss and hence a poor efficiency of the motor.
However, low iron loss silicon steel has a higher cost, which translates into an increased overall cost of the motor.

Abstract

An electric motor has a wound stator and an outer rotor. A core of the stator has outer and inner annular portions. Tooth portions extend radially outwardly from the outer annular portion. Connecting arms interconnect the outer and inner annular portions. The width of the connecting arms is less than the width of the tooth portions. The ratio of tooth height L1 to distance between the roots of adjacent teeth L3 is in the range of 1.0 and 1.3. The ratio of tooth width T3 to L3 is in the range of 0.8 and 1.0. The ratio of tooth length T1 to L3 is in the range of 0.5 and 0.6. The ratio of T3 to outer diameter of the stator core D is in the range of 0.07 and 0.1.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]This non-provisional patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) from Patent Application No. 201410235916.5 filed in The People's Republic of China on May 29, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002]This invention relates to an electric motor and in particular, to a brushless motor having an outer rotor.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003]Electric motors have a stator and a rotor which is rotatable with respect to the stator. In an outer rotor motor the rotor is disposed around the stator. In a brushless DC motor the rotor has magnetic poles formed or created by one or more permanent magnets, while the stator has windings which form the magnetic poles of the stator. The stator core is a key component for mounting and positioning of the stator windings and providing magnetic flux path for the stator. The stator core is usually formed by a stack of core laminations o...
